The suit consists of a system of elastics straps which are wrapped spiral-like across the body and extremities. Imitating the positions of the main muscle groups, they provide the necessary corrective force.
The straps can be attached to the special supportive elements for trunk and extremities (vest, shorts, knee, elbow, foot and wrist pieces). Velcro attachments on the straps allow for various adjustments to be made relative to the corrective action desired.
The biodynamical correction suit is used to enhance remedial gymnastic exercises, mechanotherapy, treadmill training, training with play therapy devices, and plain movement activity of the child.
The development of a new movement pattern and the correction of the posture of the patient is attained through the sum of forces, applied by the appropriate placement of elastic straps. Attention is paid to the individual sides of a patient's muscular-skeletal system and the goals of treatment.
Remedial gymnastics
Objective: Gradually activating the patient's possibilities of movement for building up a new, optimum pattern of movements and improving movement coordination, activating the inner motivation of the patient, stimulating processes of plasticity in the brain. Method and Results: Based on the classical principles of physiotherapy, which are individually varied from patient to patient. The activation of the patient's possibilities of movement is carried out gradually: from simple to complicated movements, from passive to active movements, from the centre (brain) to the peripheral regions of the body. The movements in the joints are carried out actively and passively up to the physiological limit; the number of repetitions, the speed and accuracy of the movement are increased on all planes. Exercises for reducing the supporting area and for developing the spatial feel of the body are gradually applied. Use of special breathing exercises, especially in the case of patients with athetoses as well as for the purpose of learning the physiological function of respiration by play; this function of respiration is usually not very well developed in the case of patients in the phase after craniocerebral trauma.
The special breathing exercises result in the entire body being better supplied with oxygen, and this contributes to the stabilization of the entire respiratory situation. For activating inner motivation: demonstrating the new functional possibilities by using elements of play, dance, music as well as participating in special sports competitions (patients' Olympics). Use of special biomechanical computer game programs which have been developed in the rehabilitation centre for activating and improving the control of movements in the joints and in precision motor skills, coordination with induction by direct feedback for the patients.
Massage
Objective: Relaxing hypertonic musculature, reducing muscle tensions (myotendinoses) and relaxing contractures as well as stimulating hypotonic musculature. Preparing for unlocking the vertebral column joints and intensifying its results. Method: Heavily dependent on the sensitivity of the masseur, who searches out myotendinoses, trigger zones and contractures and individually treats them according to the classical principles of massage, point massage, extension massage, acupressure and lymph drainage. A whole-body massage is carried out, which leads to a decompression and relaxation of all the joints. The massage accordingly relates to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and the entire vertebral column.
The massage leads to a stimulation of the mentioned elements as well as to a reflex effect on the internal organs and on the entire metabolism of the patient treated. There is also an optimization of the muscle tone, resulting in an improved functional condition of posture and movement. This has an effect on the entire bod
Joint therapy
The greater or lesser functional blockages of the joints results in the joints and the surrounding structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments) becoming stiff. This leads to shrinkage (atrophy) and shortening of the musculature, faulty positioning of the joints (contractures) and inadequate circulation of the blood. Mobility is further restricted and a "normal" physiological position and movement of the body are no longer possible.
It is intended that the stiff joints be mobilized by modified neurophysiological correction in such a way that their mobility is lastingly improved.
The large joints are treated first, then smaller joints (for example, hip, knee and foot joints). The joint is passively moved out of its neutral position (normal position) within its physiological radius of movement. This movement is supported by pulling and pressing on the joint and musculature, thus additionally increasing the scope of movement. Whereas larger joints are also relaxed by means of sudden blows to the joint cavities, smaller joints are relaxed by successive, very rapid movements (fibrillation). The intensity of the manipulations is increased in the course of the treatment.
Results: Extension of the volume of movement of the joints at the extremities, stretching of the musculature and ligaments, relaxation of faulty joint positioning, improvement in circulation of the blood and the flow of lymph with accompanying optimum nutritional supply of the joints, even leading to spurts of growth.
Mechanotherapy
Means of mechanotherapy are used for strengthening muscles, improvement of coordination and correction of movement patterns. Lower extremities' training is done using lever devices. Adjusting levers, weights and number of repetitions the optimal training regime is set. Treadmill and cycling devices are used for the correction of lower extremity movement patterns. For the upper extremities we use primarily bloc devices. Devices like "Vibroextensor" which combines action of heat, vibration and mechanical massage of the para-vertebral regions are also used.
Apietherapie
Objective: Supporting the entire body thanks to the local action of the bee poison (apitoxin) (for improving circulation of the blood and the metabolism) and to the systemic action of the bee poison (stimulating metabolism, immune strength, hormone levels, circulation of the blood), which affects the entire body. Method: The therapeutic properties of bee products such as bee poison, honey and wax have been known since medicine was practised in ancient times; today, they are researched as to their chemical composition and effective mechanisms.
Direct bee poison is not used in the rehabilitation centre; the sting is removed from the bee and introduced into the patient's skin where desired. This leads to a reduction in the patient's fear and pain factors and to a simpler dosing and determination of where the bee poison needs to be applied for exploiting its local effect. Beeswax is used therapeutically in the form of hot compresses, applied once per day on various parts of the body
